Product Information

• Name: 5,6,7,8-Tetrahydroquinoxalin-5-ol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 5,6,7,8-Tetrahydroquinoxalin-5-ol is a chiral compound that can be used to synthesize carboxylic acid derivatives. It is prepared by the catalytic hydrogenation of 5-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydroquinoxaline-2,3(1H)-dione (1). The enantiomeric purity of this compound can be determined by its reaction with sulfuryl chloride in hydrochloric acid (HCl) to yield the corresponding sulfonyl chloride. This reaction forms an asymmetric sulfonamide that can then be separated by crystallization.
